Chapter 7

"Do you really want to do this?"

"Don't worry, don't I know myself? You do as I say, it will definitely be no problem."

Lin Xiuyuan listened to Jessica's words in front of him, looking at the suit on his body with a strange expression. The size of that suit was really too big, so even though he was 182cm tall, wearing it made him look like he had stolen someone else's clothes.

He patted the dust off his pockets and couldn't help but laugh, "Are you really that suspicious? If you were, how could you have followed me here the first day we met?"

"No matter how suspicious a personality is, it would be blind when encountering a situation like yours where you have a God's-eye view."

Rolling her eyes at this guy, Jessica didn't want to talk nonsense with him, lowered her head to put on the wireless headset in her hand, and helped the other party hide it deeper in his ear, "Don't talk nonsense in a bit, follow the steps I discussed with you, and communicate with the other party little by little."

"Ah ah ah, one two one two."

Lin Xiuyuan nodded, then tried the headset a few times with curiosity, leaving Jessica speechless, "Ya, I'm standing right in front of you, I can hear it."

Lin Xiuyuan, who was complained about, continued, "Actually, I'm still a bit worried. You say, can the you of 2013 handle the you of 2025?"

"Your plan, you're not sure?" Jessica looked at him.

However, Lin Xiuyuan shook his head, "Not really sure, I just did whatever came to mind, there's no plan at all, just felt it should work... maybe."

Hearing this, clenching her fist, Jessica had never had such an urge to beat someone up.

After a while, she sighed deeply, "Then why were you so confident last night?"

"I just felt that paying back debts should be no problem."

"Next time, can you consider the situation clearly before speaking? Can you have a bit of planning?"

Facing Jessica's complaints, Lin Xiuyuan just smiled faintly, his tone carrying a hint of self-deprecation, "That probably won't work. I'm not a reborn old fox, I just got a space-time door. A young man in his 20s relies on acting recklessly."

Looking at this guy who was 'shocking' again, Jessica suddenly understood why he dragged her into the water without hesitation.

Looking deeply at the other party, "Then can you discuss it with me next time?"

"I'll try."

Lin Xiuyuan, who patted his face in front of the mirror to wake himself up, turned back and smiled.

Half an hour later.

Still the same cafe, still the same seat.

Jessica, who was about to be 36, and Krystal, who was 31, looked at the young boy who appeared in front of them, and their first reaction was to look at each other, both seeing the astonishment and shock in each other's eyes.

At the same time, a trembling voice from another Jessica came through Lin Xiuyuan's headset, although weak, it was clearly audible, "Now I really believe there is a parallel space-time."

Lin Xiuyuan smiled slightly, cast his gaze out the window, and tilted his head to look at the SUV parked on the side of the road.

Because Jessica from 2013 was sitting in the car right now, trembling all over as she watched the other self and her own sister in the cafe.

Inside the cafe, after Krystal and Jessica looked at each other, Jessica turned to look at Lin Xiuyuan, asking with a strange expression, "Hello, may I ask where you got this IOU in your hand?"

"April 1, 2013, the night your 'Gee' MV hit over 100 million views on YouTube, becoming the first K-POP idol group to hit over 100 million views on YouTube."

The answer that had just been discussed with the other temporary partner on the road was said by Lin Xiuyuan at this time.

And his answer made Jessica opposite him frown, "Huh?"

If it were other things, she might not remember clearly, but she still had some impression of this matter.

Next, Lin Xiuyuan helped her complete her memory.

"That night, you went to my uncle's bar with two friends to drink, but forgot to bring your wallet. Originally, my uncle wanted to waive the bill for you, but you, who were a bit drunk, wouldn't accept this kindness, so you signed this IOU."

"Unnie, is it true?"

Following Lin Xiuyuan's words, Krystal, who had been quiet opposite, also quietly poked Jessica.

"Yes, I remember this matter. At that time, I was too happy, so I called your Unnie Enxi to go out for a drink together."

It was just that she forgot what happened later. That night, because she drank a bit too much while happy, although not to the point of being drunk, it went to her head.

So what happened later, maybe she remembered at that time.

But now, more than ten years later, it was a blank.

However... the one outside the car remembered it clearly.

Having just experienced it not long ago, she knew clearly that she had indeed forgotten her wallet that night and had used her face to run up a tab.

She only remembered it after a few days and then went to pay the money.

Now, what she and Lin Xiuyuan were betting on was that the one in 2025 didn't remember this information; after all, even she in 2013 had forgotten it for a few days.

The fact was indeed so; Jessica, sitting in the cafe, still couldn't figure out the specific situation that night after thinking hard for a while, only remembering that this matter had happened.

So she didn't bother to think about it anymore, and turned to look at Lin Xiuyuan, "Then why didn't your uncle ask me to pay back the money before?"

"He wasn't down on his luck before, and didn't think this bar tab was worth anything. Plus, the amount on the IOU was higher than the actual consumption, so he didn't mention it again."

Lin Xiuyuan answered very naturally.

It also made the two sisters opposite nod slightly; after all, 20 million in bar tabs at that time, just thinking about it, was impossible.

They wouldn't spend money so recklessly even if they had it, at most drink a few million.

Jessica, who matched the information, continued to ask, "Then why didn't your uncle come to find me to pay back the money?"

"Oh, him, he died."

One sentence killed any subsequent questions and also made the two sisters opposite fall into silence instantly, the awkwardness on their faces deepening.

Their gazes moved away from Lin Xiuyuan, with a bit less scrutiny and a bit more apology.

And Jessica also hurriedly apologized a few times, "I'm sorry, please accept my condolences, I didn't know the situation."

"It's okay, it's just because of this situation that I found this IOU when tidying up things later."

While speaking, Lin Xiuyuan took out the IOU from his pocket.

Jessica, who took the IOU, had a light of memory flickering in her eyes, and a smile rose at the corner of her mouth, saying, "The interest of more than ten years saved until now, it really is this much."

After saying this, she looked at Lin Xiuyuan, then looked at Krystal beside her, and her hesitant expression made Lin Xiuyuan understand, so he made an excuse to get up and go to the bathroom.

At the same time, the voice of the one in the car came through the headset.

"What a crappy reason, I actually believed it, it seems I'm really stupid beyond measure."

"The more flawed things are, the more real they are."

"That's still stupid."

"Is it really good for you to scold yourself like this? Jessica."

"Let's distinguish, call me Zheng Xiuyan from now on, Jessica is left to her."

Outside the car, Jessica from 2013, oh no, Zheng Xiuyan, looked at the Jessica of 2025 in the cafe with complex eyes.
